Steam- Where are all the good games?

[Warnhammer]

I look at my steam suggestions for games every day, and for example; today I look through the queue, and 9 out of 10 games on the queue had mostly negative ratings, and were all garbage.

Where are all the good games? Steam, you make so much money being the middleman between us and developers, so why are you doing such a crap job?

[cSg|mc-Hotsauce]

There are about 22,000 games on Steam. You are bound to see a few games with negative ratings.

[Warnhammer]

Few is an understatement :\

Play more of the games you consider good., and the system will figure it out.

No it does not.

Works just fine for me and others.

It does. But the algorithm *needs* input. Preferrably of what you like. Else you'll see what your friends are into, what is popular or what is on sale. It even tells you why the stuff is in your feed.

You have to consider that occasionally there are triple A games that define what makes a game good and worthy of a high rating. The challenge is that gaming companies with large capital needed to invest vast amounts of resources/time into making great games are few, whereas those with low budgets are much more numerous.

How many games have gone through your recommendation queue?
How many have you marked at your wishlist?
How many have you followed?
How many have you marked as not interested?

The recommendation engine doesn't work on magic. It needs input to make a bit more than an educated guess looking at your playtime.

This part is important. Look at why a certain game is being recommended to you to know more.

Discovery queue is pretty inexact on your wants. I don't use the discovery queue outside sales because if I have to look at three queues a day to get cards during the sale by day ten and games 270 - 300 we're usually scraping the bottom of the barrel.

Discovery queue should give people a chance to mark how much they want a particular product
marked between zero (I'd rather have viruses on my computer) and 10 (I'm planning to murder my Granny to get this via an inheritance). Then games you really wanted would reappear in your discovery queue. Currently if you don't add them to your wishlist they never reappear.

But there are easier ways to find games. Under the store page menu at the top left of your Steam page are "Stats". Included in "stats" are the top 100 games being played now on Steam in real time. So you can see what everybody else is playing.

Next, for me, there's the specials tab on the store page. This tells me what games on sale people are currently buying.

Plus major releases get heavily promoted on the store page.

There are other sources too but that will set you well on the path to finding decent games.

The catalogue has turned into rubbish the past few years. There was a good selection in 2013 when I joined; now it's just bloated with half finished or low quality rubbish... Not to mention abandoned/slack Early Access titles. I barely use Steam for that reason. I like it, but there just isn't much substance.

To people who are responding like I don't know what an algorithm is, or that I don't know how to use the "not interested" buttons....

Thanks, but its not really the point.

Point being, Steam invests alot into stupid stuff. They put their eggs into early access baskets that do nothing but take money from people and not deliver in return, or they invest into crap indie games. There aren't very many AAA games on here, it seems.

Publishers come to Steam with their games. Valve does not go out looking for games to bring to Steam.

Go bug the developers and publishers to start making better games.

An algorithm is basically just the procedure by which a computer figures something out.

Anyhow, the lack of AAAs on Steam might just be because there aren't that many AAA games, period.

I remember noticing that the Queue was basically a popularity list of games. It shows you the most popular games first. If you've run out of super popular stuff, it shows you somewhat less popular stuff, and so on and so forth. The only way to get new popular games onto it is for them to get released on Steam. So if you've gone through the Queue way too much, you're just gonna be stuck with the least popular games.

Steam does not invest in any other dev's games. They are only providing the platform there the games are being sold. As Hotsauce said, go bug the dev's of said games.

Valve does not invest in Early Access users do, when they pick buy that game, and some eggs all ready give me pretty good fun and keep doing it now from Early Acces
AAA has no real meaning beyond the meaning you give it
After all it started and kind of is also today nothing much more than a marketing buzz word
